Description

URGENT RESPONSE REQUIRED In the current context of the urgent need for a global response to tackle the coronavirus outbreak, NCC is looking to the capital estates market to explore where options may exist to provide a temporary increase to its care home/ specialist accommodation capacity. We are working with the health service to ensure as many medically fit people in hospital are discharged promptly to free up as much hospital capacity as we can to ensure beds are available for those that need them most. If you have care home capacity, a new home nearly complete which could be bought forward, an old home which could be bought back into use please respond (with or without care staff and other staff). If you have capacity in other capital estate which may be useful and quickly adapted please respond (e.g. student halls or residence, private healthcare setting, studio apartments, hotel, holiday accommodation etc.). The need is now and likely to increase. Please respond as soon as you can gather basic information. We can work up the details as we progress. This EOI will remain open to responses until we get a sufficient level of responses to start to explore further, and may be reopened in future.
